965 Boards confirmed to be either work or not working with 7950GX2 GPU

[HeadShotWI]

The GX2 is one card, it will work on any 965 board.

I know it is one card but the motherboard must be compatible too otherwise you end up not being able to configure it for SLI mode and it only uses one GPU on the card. From what I have heard the Asus P5B boards are both not functioning with the 7950gx2 with their current BIOS's. Asus does not have an ETA for a fix.

Most boards should be able to handle the GX2 with a simple bios update. The BIOS update is needed to ensure that it is able to see the second GPU that is hidden behind the internal PCI-Express switch on the card. I'm surprised Asus is still having an issue with this. It should be an easy fix.

Yeah but how long does it take for them to release a bios update to support it?

Do you think they'd only need one BIOS update for all future GX2s? I was thinking maybe I'd get an 8800GX2 (just speculating its existence) once they're out. My P5B Deluxe comes on Thursday. I'll see if the manual says anything about it.

I called Asus today, dude said that the Asus P5WD DH Deluxe won't support the 7950, and there is no ETA on any bios fix lol how gay is that?

The badAxe 304 supports the 7950, that is the only reason i'm buying the Intel Motherboard.

Don't you need haxor drivers as you would use for 975x chipset boards,
since there is an sli bridge already on an single 7950GX2 ?

this is the sli bridge im referring to:
